On New Year's Day thousands of people in Devon turned to their local takeaway as an antidote for their late night antics.

January 1, 2019 saw Deliveroo orders jump 98% across the UK, seeing more orders placed in a single day than ever before.

Topping the list as one of the hungriest cities this New Year’s Day was Exeter, where order volumes almost doubled as locals turned to comfort food to cure their heavy heads.

Deliveroo has revealed that Peri Peri Chicken Wrap from Gourmet Peri Peri took top spot for Exeter’s most popular turn-of-the-year takeaway, followed by a list of local favourites fit to cure any hangover:

Joe Groves at Deliveroo said: “With the turn of the year, comes the turn of the takeaway, as Brits trade in their turkey dinners and mulled wine for a cheesy burger and chips to heal their heavy heads. Here at Deliveroo, we’re glad the people of Exeter made the most of the great selection of New Year’s nourishment available on the app.”
